Do have a read of @ajhlovestheatre.bsky.social's review of Ragtime. Or alternatively just enjoy this extract detailing the performance of the incredible Caissie Levy and just marvel at Alun's exquisite writing talent. This is how proper theatre critics do it.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social A brilliant evening in Frome. It was my fourth Mark Watson gig so you've now matched Ivo Graham as my joint most seen comedians. But your pre-show playlist is still far superior to Ivo's! Not heard Happiness by Goldfrapp in years! Thanks for battling to get there tonight!

Remember this extract from Mortification by @watsoncomedian.bsky.social? I'm off to the Cheese and Grain tomorrow night to see my favourite comedian and I've also booked to see Jason Manford there in February next year. Comparing the ticket availability, Jason isn't as popular as he used to be! 😂

Update! No tickets purchased. I could only make it to London on the Sunday and was hoping for a matinee but it's a 6pm show so no good for me. This is the availability for the Saturday matinee. I'll make do with The Last Five Years in Bath in January and The Choir Of Man in Bath on this Saturday.

Here we go! I'm in the queue! If the 8000 people ahead of me could hurry up a bit, that would be fab! Thank you!

As both a Dear Evan Hansen and Rachel Zegler superfan, news doesn't get much more thrilling than this. Questions: 1) Can I get to London that week? I'm already at The Choir Of Man in Bath that Saturday 2) Will I get a ticket before it is sold out? 3) How ridiculous are the ticket prices going to be?

Well, that was quite the Strictly results show.
Was expecting:
The dazzlingly exquisite superstar extraordinaire Rachel Zegler to of course deliver the absolutely perfect performance.
Wasn't expecting:
Amber to be in the dance off. She got all of my five votes as always.

A couple of theatre trips booked in for this week.
1) The Book Of Mormon (Bristol Hippodrome) which is a show I've never seen before.
2) Elf The Musical (Aldwych Theatre, London) as Christmas begins early for me in 2025 before ticket prices for this show go stupid.

Listening to the Evita cast recording and getting goosebumps remembering
1) The moment in Oh What A Circus when Rachel first appears
2) The visual spectacle of the Act One confetti ending
3) The audience reaction at the end of High Flying Adored when Rachel reappears on stage after the balcony scene

Joe Locke choosing Next To Normal as his favourite musical! Our little gang is beginning to form. That's Joe, Gerardine Sacdalan and me. Anybody else joining us?
